Re: [AN1x] Question about System OS (newbie here)

2012-05-17 by vdftreghy

The updated roms to V1.04 are still available from Yamaha uk and Germany.

i have posted the address before and contact details.


call on Yamaha 0844 811 1116 then option 4

I did this and they actually refunded the entire amount back to me once i had
returned the old roms. I did this 2 months ago.
